IS YOUR BUSINESS MAKING THE PROGRESS YOU WANT???

If not you might want to consider this:

  • If the engine in your car stops working on the highway today, will you push your car everywhere you want to go?  NO! You need to fix your car’s engine.
  • If your business is not generating the inquiries and business you need, the solution is not to push more ineffective marketing onto people. You need to fix your marketing engine!

Most small businesses owners I meet are marketing by doing the wrong things very poorly.

How To Get More Twitter Followers

March 09, 2012 By: Ron Coleman Category: General Business, Getting business to come to you, Marketing, Networking

Most internet marketers know just how important social networks are but it seems like most of them tend to overlook the importance of Twitter.

A lot of people have been focused on Facebook and Twitter tends to be looked at as a lesser version of the website. However, if you are serious about taking your marketing strategies to a higher level, then it is a good idea to learn how to get more Twitter followers.

Twitter is all about being able to send a short message to all of your followers and so it is a good idea to try and get as many followers as possible.

In order to get more followers, you will simply need to increase your presence online through different websites. For example, your Facebook, YouTube and even LinkedIn profiles will have your Twitter name exposed so that you will be able to gain more followers.

Another good way to get more followers is by actually “buying” followers online. Though this may seem like cheating, it is a strategy that a lot of people use. This enables you to have more followers and greatly increases your company’s reputation.

When you look at a business, you will often give more respect to the companies that have more followers. Even if you have no idea what the company is about, you can often “assume” that it is a trusted business. This is why it is very important to try and get as many followers as possible because this is the best way to expand as a business.

If you are serious about trying to get followers, you have to be patient as you will most likely not get a big boost of followers right away. With just a little patience, you will surely be able to gain more followers on Twitter.

Make Your Brochure Or Flyer Effective!

October 13, 2009 By: Ron Coleman Category: General Business, Getting business to come to you, Marketing, Networking

Because of poor design most brochures and flyers get thrown away!  It is better not to have something that people just throw away because they are unimpressed.

If your going to produce a flyer or brochure, make it worth the effort.

Do You Need Printed Materials

October 07, 2009 By: Ron Coleman Category: General Business, Getting business to come to you, Marketing, Networking

Many times I have told a person to go to my website to learn more about my services, only to have them tell me that they would prefer a brochure or other information he can look at at his leisure!

You might have a website that contains all the information about your company and product that you feel you need.  You might also have digital information you can send potential customers via email.  But there are many times you will need printed information for a prospect.

If you do not have this information ready to hand to him, you may not get in to see him.  You are unprepared and unprofessional!

Worse is to give him something you printed on your computer!  Even if you buy expensive paper with a nice background design printed on it and it says it is brochure paper, you will look cheap and unprofessional if you hand it out!  What ever your prospect sees in your information, whether printed or online (website, email, etc), he will relate to your business.  Cheap printing, cheap business.  Unprofessional website or printing, Unprofessional business.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use printed information like business cards, brochures or other items that was printed on your printer at home!

In case you didn’t notice the above paragraph, let me repeat it here:

To avoid looking unprofessional, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use printed information like business cards, brochures or other items that was printed on your printer at home!

Besides, with the price of printing, you can’t afford NOT to have your printing items done by a professional.  At my print shop, I am running specials for brochures and other printing.  Contact me for more information at ron@cheap-business-printing.com or call me at 801-298-2336.  You can also order printing online by going to www.cheap-business-printing.com

A Quality Business Card Is Essential!

October 02, 2009 By: Ron Coleman Category: General Business, Getting business to come to you, Marketing, Networking

For a small or home-based business, a business card is far more than a piece of paper with your name and contact information on it.  It should be thought of as one of your most important marketing tools!

It can be: 

  • A mini billboard
  • A brochure
  • An advertisement
  • or even an order form!

When well designed and well printed, your card makes an impression, establishes your credibility, and lets you stand out in the memory of those you meet for future business or referrals.

On the other hand, when designed poorly or printed poorly, it is sent to a pile of other faceless business cards that ultimately get thrown away.

Have you ever looked through a pile of business cards that you have had setting around and try to remember who the person was that gave it to you?  I do all the time, because the business card did not create an impression I can relate to.

Also, have you ever received a business card that is electronically produced (on a computer printer or a copier) and have the ink and images rub off or crumble?  That does not create an impression of importance or quality of the person or his company.

So with the pricing as it is for professionally offset printed business cards, (My company is currently doing them for $35.99 a thousand cards printed full color BOTH sides!), why even waste time and effort copying your cards?  Get some done that will impress your potential client!

Turn Your Business Card Into A Mini-Billboard

October 01, 2009 By: Ron Coleman Category: General Business, Getting business to come to you, Marketing, Networking

A highly effective business card draws a second glance.  Then the person receiving it will give you a second look as well.  That person may comment on the card itself, but more likely will simply be a little more interested in finding out about your business.  You have risen in his or her esteem.  The effective card says, “This is a person to listen to.”
